Beef and Pepper Stir Fry

We now have "Stir Fry-day" every Friday in our house, and the same ol' chicken recipe I've been using has been getting a little old. I consulted with my friend Lisa O. and she gave me a super simple recipe for beef stir fry. The beautiful thing about any stir fry is that you can mix and match any veggie combo you like! So far I've made this with just green and red peppers and also peppers and celery. I loved them both.

This has turned out great for me 2 weeks in a row! Hope you like it as much as we do!!!

Beef Stir Fry

Ingredients:

• Beef for stir fry (about 1lb; my grocer sells it pre-packaged this way)
• 1/2 tablespoon sliced fresh ginger
• 4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
• Canola oil
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp white cooking wine
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp sugar
• Whatever veggies you like

Place strips of beef in In a medium bowl. Add soy sauce, wine, sugar and stir. Allow to marinate about 15 - 20 minutes before cooking and stir occasionally.

While the beef is marinating, chop up your garlic, ginger and veggies.


Get the oil in your wok good and hot. Add garlic and ginger and saute for about 30 sec to 1 min. Add beef. Stir fry for about 3 -5 minutes. If you couldn't fit all your beef in, once the first batch is nearly done, push them up the sides of the wok and add the rest of the beef. Once the pink is almost gone, it's done. Remove the beef and juices from the wok to a bowl and set aside.

Add oil to wok if needed. Stir fry veggies. When they are nearly done, add back the beef beef (and collected juices) into the wpk, along with whatever additional "saucy" ingredients you want.
